Getting Started

Insights runs in FireMon's cloud and reads from the Security Intelligence Platform (SIP) installation you already have. Apart from the Insights plugin, there is nothing to install and no data to import. Connecting the two takes one registration inside SIP, and one sign-in.

These four pages take you from an unconnected installation to a signed-in user who knows what they are looking at. Read them in order. If your installation is already connected, go straight to Finding Your Way Around.

In this section​

  • Prerequisites — the SIP and plugin versions, the two hostnames your firewall has to allow, and the license and user account requirements
  • Connect Your SIP Instance — registering from Administration, what registration does, and when the first data arrives
  • Signing In — reaching Insights from SIP, where Insights accounts come from, and why a sign-in fails
  • Finding Your Way Around — the device group selector, the trend ranges, and the pages
